This will be now automatically populated along with the flickr page within a few hours of images arriving.anyone following the @esamarswebcam twitter account then gets a tweet telling them new images are available.

we've also made single archives of a each years observations so those of you who want to get the full set don't have to spend ages downloading each observation individually.

and to launch this new setup we've been lucky enough to have taken these rather nice images of the Martian south pole on Monday morning!

Hi, VMC team here, its been a while.We thought we'd give you an early Christmas present. We have updated the VMC blog to now permit the downloading of the raw unprocessed images. The entire VMC image archive is now downloadable in raw format.

Thanks a lot wood_s ! Those good news are much appreciated ! With warmest regards, VM

btw, if anyone fancies having a go at creating a new one, do feel free, we have a lot more images now than when the current one was made including some (like our ISON observations from october 2013 ) without Mars in it

I noticed that the altitude is not being written to the image set description at flickr - is there someone here who can fix it? It just says %altitude% as in "VMC Image acquired on 13-10-2017 at 06:07:25 at an altitude of %altitude% km above Mars"

yeah its been like that for a while, the interface to the system in flight dynamics where the information is obtained from was changed

I'd like to add my thanks and congratulations to the mighty mighty army of UMSF image wizards who have made such a significant contribution to the science utility of VMC. That's a really special thing you all did right there...you should be extremely proud!!!

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
